JQK Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Could have been so much better... It doesn't look like a championship... it looks cheap, slapdash... *sigh* At least we got the yellow endzone... 1 Quote Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Good looking field, IMO. Thankfully it is not red/red endzones. Conference logos need to come back and be SOMEWHERE on future SB fields. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Crazy that I don't even really care about the game. I just wanted to see a field that pops a bit. I think this one will. I will probably be looking at the field more than watching the play on the field. LOL. Kind of like I do when the Rose Bowl is on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL should let the Rose Bowl crew design the Super Bowl field. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagMatt Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I must say this year’s field will look better than the previous few years. I’m thankful for the saloon font and the return of a 2 bar helmet warms my heart. I’ll try to overlook the fact that it’s onky in one end zone and be thankful for what we have. I’m actually very surprised they threw a curveball and went with a yellow end zone for the Chiefs. This may be a FIRST!: Since they abandoned the helmets in the end zone design, Has there been a team that has had the end zone colored in a different color than what their primary home jerseys are? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Broncos not going with an orange end zone the 2 most recent times, still baffles me. Nonetheless, I’m glad KC will have the yellow end zone. Should make for a great contrast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The Chiefs got it right. The 49ers, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit more consistency between endzones would be nice though, and the return of some sort of logo to the right side of the endzone to put the wordmarks back in the center would be an improvement. We also get the first ideas of what will be in the team boxes. At least for Kansas City they will have their standard logo. I'd hope they'd go with a red team box for some contrast with their endzone. It will be interesting to see what logo will be in the 49ers team box, if it's their standard logo, or a helmet (I'd guess standard logo). Should be a good looking field once it's all finished. Also what is great....The designated home team sideline is back on the press box side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShlyKBMT Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 1. Not a fan of two different style end zones 2. Miss the conference logos / 2 helmet template. 3. Why does the 49ers helmet have no stripes? This bugged me in the regular season too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is that the Broncos endzone was blue because the wordmark is always orange in their stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does the 49ers helmet have no stripes? This bugged me in the regular season too. agreed on points 1 & 2. To me they got it 80% right. End zone Color choices and fonts are perfect. Just the final touches and lack of consistency that misses the mark. I’d prefer the Niners to simply have their oval SF logo if they’re not going to have both teams have The helmets. Of course, I’d prefer centered word mark bookended by team helmet and conference logos. It Would’ve been cool for the 100th Anniversary to do the old AFL logo and NFL logo circa 1967 in the appropriate end zones. The Chiefs already wear that AFL logo on their jerseys anyway. I’d also prefer chiefs red and Niners Gold in their team boxes but I get that having SF red end zone and KC Red Sideline could be confusing. Mostly though, I loved having the team colors striped on the 25 and 2 pt Hash. Small detail that went a long way. BUT, this is way better than the last 5-10 SB field designs so overall I’m happy. I turn 40 one week exactly after SB54, live in KC and used to work for the Chiefs. 1st time in my lifetime seeing my team in the big game. Thank you Mr. Mahomes!

cdh72469 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Still don't like this 1 logo offset look. Could it have been the Patriots' fault back in SB49 with their wordmark/logo combo? Could it be Madden's influence with all these televised tournaments and not wanting the end zones to show the N or the A when 2 teams from the same conference play? I've been puzzled by this since SB 50 when it all started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDey69 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If the Bengals ever make the Super Bowl, do you think their end zone would reflect their end zone at Paul Brown stadium? Which would mean black tiger stripes? Any way you could design this years Field when you have time Pitt with the bengals end zone that way? Also wonder why the Bengals are the only team to have their helmet decal in the conference logo helmet as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoDey69 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 And the Bengals would have had a Black Face Mask. Those would be a few differences. Be interesting to see why the NFL went that route. Also, more I think about it, if the Bengals requested the Tiger stripes in the end zone, like the 49ers made their request this year, I’d say the NFL would go that route.

I remember thinking as a kid the reason they kept the stripes for the conference logo helmet also, was because the Bengals painted the stripes on the helmet instead of using a decal. So it’s literally considered part of their helmet. I was just 6 years old, but it’s still not a bad theory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
